After five great years with the band Andy Burrows has decided to leave Razorlight.
The Winchester born drummer has opted for a quieter life away from the band's hectic touring schedule. New Yorker David 'Skully' Sullivan-Kaplan will take over the drums at the band's Razorlight's live shows until the end of 2009.
"The past five years in Razorlight have been an amazing experience," says Andy. "I am very proud of everything that myself, Johnny, Carl and Bjorn have achieved together but for personal reasons I have decided to leave the band. I will be pursuing other musical ventures."
"Over the last two albums and five years Andy has been an integral part of Razorlight and we will miss him," says Johnny."From the day he walked into our rehearsal studio it was obvious that he was an amazing drummer and he’s contributed on many levels beyond that. He's been a great player and a great friend and I think we'll both always be proud of the music we've made together. As far as the bands future is concerned we're all looking forward to touring with Skully and getting on with making our next record”.
Razorlight have a busy summer ahead. With a top 5 album and single notched up in Germany and unprecedented successes in the US, the band head to America, Australia and Europe before returning to the UK for May shows at 02 Arena and Manchester MEN followed by UK festivals.

you fitted to the band so well. I will ever miss you, Razorlight without you will never be the same. But you're a great drummer and I wish you all the best for the future ;) Keep us up-to-date!
Shame - very talented musician, but obviously not the end - as I'm sure Andy will go on! Can understand this from a parental prespective - the first few years are especially important and it's hard enough being away for a couple hours let alone a few weeks at a time. Good Luck!
